This poster celebrates Porsche’s triumph in the 1984 Paris–Dakar Rally, using desert imagery to underscore both the brutality of the event and the technical achievement of finishing it—let alone winning. The Rothmans‑liveried 911 is shown charging through sand, visually reinforcing the message in the German headline: “Ein Sieg für Porsche – Hochleistungstechnik und – Zuverlässigkeit,” which translates to “A victory for Porsche – high‑performance engineering and reliability.” The text below highlights the astonishing feat that all three all‑wheel‑drive 911s entered (“Drei 911 Allrad am Start – drei im Ziel”) finished the rally, with the Rothmans‑Porsche team taking both the individual and team classifications. The listed crews—Metge/Lemoyne (1st), Ickx/Brasseur (6th), Kussmaul/Lerner (26th)—anchor the poster in the real competitive results, while the sponsor row (Bilstein, Dunlop, Recaro, Texaco) situates the car within its broader motorsport ecosystem. Altogether, it’s a bold, triumphant piece of Porsche rally history, celebrating one of the most improbable and iconic victories ever achieved by a 911.Collection
